Question

As an answer to Q&A 3081 on the Credit Risk Adjustment, you mention that the liquidity condition has not been met. Can you share your outcomes in the liquidity analysis over various buckets? This would allow us to check if we monitor (approximately) the same figures.

Background

Our internal analysis confirms that the liquidity condition is not met, trade in OIS swaps seems very low compared to (6M) IBOR swaps, especially for the relevant tenors for life insurers (>5Y). However, we do not have any idea if our analysis is in line with yours. As a switch to OIS swaps from IBOR swaps may have impact, we would be able to monitor if a switch is getting near, or (still) far away.

Answer

This question has been rejected because the answer to 3081 - EIOPA is still valid. EIOPA cannot share more granular liquidity analysis as this is based on strictly confidential EMIR data.
